ATP is sometimes compared to currency. How does it relate to other molecules in cells?(1 point) Responses Energy is spent from ATP molecules like a checking account, with less and less energy stored in the molecules over time. Energy is spent from ATP molecules like a checking account, with less and less energy stored in the molecules over time. If glucose molecules were dollar bills, ATP molecules would be nickels, because they contain smaller amounts of energy. If glucose molecules were dollar bills, ATP molecules would be nickels, because they contain smaller amounts of energy. If glucose molecules were nickels, ATP molecules would be like dollar bills, because they contain larger amounts of energy. If glucose molecules were nickels, ATP molecules would be like dollar bills, because they contain larger amounts of energy. Energy is saved up over time in ATP like a savings account, with more and more energy stored in the molecules over time.

The most accurate response would be: If glucose molecules were dollar bills, ATP molecules would be nickels, because they contain smaller amounts of energy.

ATP is often considered the energy currency of the cell, providing a small, readily available amount of energy for cellular processes, while glucose, being a larger energy storage molecule, provides more energy when broken down.
